About Element Android
Renamed to "Element Classic" — managed sunset in favor of Element X.
The legacy Kotlin client was renamed to "Element Classic" in October 2025 and has been on a maintenance-and-migration cadence ever since. Recent releases are dominated by interop plumbing for Element X — exposing internal services for the new client to consume, fingerprinting Element X nightly builds, hiding the "Verify this device" banner during migration — alongside dependency bumps, a Google 16KB page-size compatibility pass, and a high-severity sender-spoofing CVE fix.
